Mindfulness Training on LTC

Aims & objectives

I wanted to introduce mindfulness as a tool. I wanted them to practice and to understand how it works, in order to increase self awarness, manage emotions, having quality relationship (especially with young people).

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

Partecipants from Italy, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Greece. Mainly youth workers.

Training methods used & main activities

I wanted my partecipants to get the full experience, share what they felt, try to understand something from inside. Then I give them theory basics and finally tools and strategies to use in their works/activities. I always want to create a solid group, I want my partecipants to be active, I always use non formal education tools and strategies that I know.

Outcomes of the activity

We worked on focus and self awarness, I asked them feedback and made interviews. I kept in contact with some of them in order to help them apply the concepts in their works. We made facebook events and groups, now they're closed or ended.

Your tasks and responsibilities within the team

I was the only trainer. Two people helped me to manage the groups and with logistic.

I worked on this training for 3 days as a full time trainer.
